وَزُرُوعٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ
(44:26) and sown fields and splendid mansions,
وَنَعۡمَةٖ كَانُواْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
(44:27) and the life of ease in which they took delight!
كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
(44:28) Thus it was; and We made another people inherit all that.4
فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنظَرِينَ
(44:29) Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth.5
They were granted no respite.
They were granted no respite.
وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّيۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِينِ
(44:30) Thus did We deliver the Children of Israel from the humiliating chastisement,
مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
(44:31) from Pharaoh6 who was most prominent among the prodigals.7
وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
(44:32) We knowingly exalted them (i.e., the Children of Israel) above other
peoples of the world8
